North Korea hacked Pfizer Inc. for information on its Covid-19 vaccine and treatments, South Korean lawmakers said after a briefing by the country’s spy agency.

The National Intelligence Service released the information Tuesday during a closed-door briefing to a parliamentary intelligence committee, lawmakers said. “Pfizer got hacked,” Ha Tae-keung, an opposition lawmaker who was among the committee members briefed, told reporters in Seoul.
